This study investigates the effects of different soil solid phases on the extracellular enzymatic hydrolysis of cellobiose to glucose. Montmorillonite, kaolinite, goethite and wood char did not adsorb cellobiose whereas they adsorbed 10, 70, 70, 99 % respectively of β-glucosidase from
Aspergillus niger. The hydrolysis rate decreased with increasing enzyme adsorption; wood char, for instance, reduced it by 30 %. Activated carbon adsorbed almost 100 % of both cellobiose and β-glucosidase and inhibited hydrolysis completely. Among the immobilization methods for β-glucosidase which are also interesting for industrial applications, only the covalent binding to Eupergit©C particles was sufficiently stable. However, the immobilization caused an activity loss of 76 %.
